August 2, 200817 yr They're both awesome in different ways. Anyone else feel sad watching the second one? Someone needs a hug! The end was very sweet though. First one was very creative. Loved it!
August 3, 200817 yr yeah as funny as the second one was I couldn't help but feel bad for Chris and those beautiful blue eyes I especially felt bad when he was swinging on the swing by himself :(
August 3, 200817 yr Wow, I am extremely suprised of everyon'e sopinion. I personally love the official video! So many people are giving it crap : ( I love Chris Martin's gestures in that video and especially love how his wonderful blue eyes stand out....!!!
August 3, 200817 yr Thanks Christina! :blush: Oh Guy's lips.....:sneaky: he looks so funny when he ooohs!!! made me absolutely crack up when i first watched the vid. :D
August 3, 200817 yr I LOVE the official one! I'm off to watch the cover now. I'm surprised Hype Williams directed it. He does a lot of rap videos, but his videos have a lot of style and color. Wooow. I loved it.
August 3, 200817 yr I like the second one the best, Chris reminded me of a little boy as he walked around with that sad expression and king regalia. I didn't like the effects and the color scheme on the official one, other than that its ok.

August 3, 200817 yr I liked both videos but for different reasons. The official video, in my opinion, is elegant. I loved opening with a red rose, to me symbolising love and ending with the band members dissolving into rose petals I took that to mean that Coldplay - or the message - is love. I asked my partner what he thought about it and he wasn’t impressed. He told me that they could have done a lot more with it, given that it’s such a fantastic song and wanted to see a story unfolding. I disagree, I’m happy Coldplay chose to take this route because it’s open to interpretation. (Although with the theme chosen I would have probably added and played with different parts, but that’s only because I really like what’s there to begin with.) With such a powerful song I think it’s dangerous to convey a particular message. It could lead to perhaps confusing fans or worse still insulting us unintentionally. I thought that it was visually appealing from beginning to end. Just as a side note, was anyone here a very inquisitive child? Ok Stupid question, like all children I asked millions of questions, church not being the exception. I didn’t get the Bible, but I loved my understanding of it. My priest was keen for me to develop my own understanding rather than giving a definitive answer. He told me religiously (sorry about that) that it’s open to interpretation which just fed into my already growing imagination. Anyway what I’m getting at is that I think similar with this video. I think it keeps the song personal to us and still remains open to interpretation. But that’s just my opinion. The cover version got a better reception from my partner. He loved it, laughing from beginning to end. I found it very funny too; I think Chris Martin is coming into his own as a performer. It’s pretty cool that they did both of them, I always feel like I’m getting more than my monies worth with Coldplay. It’s cool that Coldplay like to make us smile. :)
August 3, 200817 yr Who's the kid in the pics.He's adorable even though I'm old enough to be his mother...
August 3, 200817 yr I wish they could put the second one on air... Why? Because it's so simple, funny, hilarious, and makes me so happy!!!:laugh3: It would be more popular... But i think the people of depeche mode won't let coldplay put it on air... what a shame...:cry:
